                        Thanks for the pic.

                        That is exactly what the objects look like. Now I know what the are and basically how to install them.

                        Thanks

                        They are probably bilge keels.  These are longitudinal strakes which are located about where the hull bottom turns.  Their porpose to help reduce rolling.

                        I am currently working on the Trumpeter Kiev. As per instructions, Ther are runner boards along the hull. What are these? Are they stabilizers? Do they run horizontal? I am not sure if I should put them in or if I do at waht angle.

                         

                        Help???
